Fig Tree Pruning Help

[Robert B]

So this is a very young fig tree, it has a central leader with branches at each node, how should I prune it for the best fruit harvest?

Thanks

You need to take the tip or growing shoot off the plant at the first four nodes when they are young. You missed that but its not too late to make your plant branch out the bottom branches. Just take the growing shoots off the top two tallest branches and wait for the rest to catch up. Don't top the side branches only the top two.
